What is the strip method of paper mache?

The strip method of papier-mâché involves tearing or cutting paper into strips, which are then dipped in a glue or paste mixture, such as flour and water or white glue diluted with water. The strips are layered over a mold or structure, typically made of balloons, cardboard, or wire, to create a solid form. This technique allows for detailed shaping and is commonly used for crafting sculptures, masks, and decorative items. Once dried, the finished piece can be painted and decorated as desired.
